Tonight I tried to make a special Valentine's dinner (as special as it can be with two young kids around!) For a side dish I made this quinoa salad with beets and feta. The beets turn the entire salad a rich beautiful hue of ruby pink, which was Valentine's appropriate. It's stuning! This salad is delicious, full of flavourful mint, parsley, and feta...and it's nutritious to boot!
Here is the recipe. As usual, I adjusted the recipe based on the ingredients I had on hand:
- I added chickpeas for extra nutrition
- I used roasted almonds instead of pine nuts
- I added cucumbers
- I used golden beets as well as red beets
What did you make your sweetheart?
